After "young and inept" Mr. Sampson's testimony, things look much worse

that's certainly my take as well, and, while i shouldn't be terribly surprised that it's not in screaming, half-page headlines in every newspaper in the country, i am still nonplussed that the grave implications for gonzo and the white house aren't making more of a bigger splash...

The administration insists that purge was not about partisan politics. But Mr. Sampson’s alternative explanation was not very credible — that the decision about which of these distinguished prosecutors should be fired was left in the hands of someone as young and inept as Mr. Sampson. If this were an aboveboard, professional process, it strains credulity that virtually no documents were produced when decisions were made, and that none of his recommendations to Mr. Gonzales were in writing.

It is no wonder that the White House is trying to stop Congress from questioning Mr. Rove, Harriet Miers, the former White House counsel, and other top officials in public, under oath and with a transcript. The more the administration tries to spin the prosecutor purge, the worse it looks.

i am still of the very strong opinion that this disgraceful politicization of the justice department is only the tip of an extremely large iceberg... when we eventually find out the full story of how this administration has gone about its business, we will truly be horror-struck...
